I'm a thief. Or maybe great minds think alike.

So yesterday I read an article on National Novel Writing month and considered doing it, and then djblax announced his new journal writerdean, so I decided to follow my gut from yesterday and borrow his brilliant idea, so I'd like to introduce:

writerraymond

Clever name, eh? (Thanks Dean!) So anyway, if you want to read my terrible novel I'll be writing this month, feel free to check in periodically. Or you can just wait until November 30th when it's completed.

It has to be 175 pages, 50,000 words and done by midnight. For more info (or to join up), check the site: www.nanowrimo.org.

Wish me luck!

Great!!!

Good luck! And where did you get the nifty word counter device?

I got it here: http://javascriptkit.com/script/script2/countwords.shtml, though it doesn't seem to be working to well within my livejournal. So I just bookmarked it on my browser.

Ray,

I'm going to try to do it too...should be great when I'm either drunk or procrastinating on *REAL* work. I'm trying to make mine intentionally bad...so bad it's funny.

I'm trying to get more friends to do it too. So far, one person besides me is on board. Everyone else claims they are too busy.
